    Question Cameo ?

    I have been making transfers for T-Shirts with my Liyu, printing the designs first and cutting - as you can imagine the possibility of error is there and to be honest it is taking me too long to complete the job.

    Sooo, I woke up thinking for a Versacamm until I saw the prices (One day but not yet).. then I took to reading this wonderful forum and the Cameo popped out at me - they are less than £300 also :)

    So, first - before I go buying anything do we have a members discount code for a supplier and secondly does anybody have one for sale ?

    And... are there any problems with these I should be aware of?

    But isn't a Cameo going to be exactly the same process as you are doing now?

    Have you looked at the two part papers from The Magic Touch that are used in conjunction with a laser printer?

    process will be the same but cameo has optical eye. so no errors there when cutting out the transfers.

    Yes, Paul has it - that's the problem I am having.. Lining up the Reg marks using the knife, too much room for error. this laser thing on the Liyu is a waste of time.

    Yolo is slightly cheaper than BMS with our discount :) Still need to upgrade the software though as need to be able to import things.

    The cameo is a great bit of kit for the price. Just wish they did it in a bigger version. For me the software is worth its weight in gold.

    Thats a much nicer way of Calibrating than the video version with the Chinese guy.

    BUT, When I get to the 'Cutter Options' screen I have no X and Y settings - this is what has been confusing me since the start as there appears to be no way of setting this up properly, when following the Chinese guy's instructions you can set it up but as soon as you hit 'Reset' (probably to abort a job) the whole thing resets :(

    Thanks for that link though, I do appreciate your help.

    oh, and I do have the lazer on.

    I purchased the Cameo from Yolo last night as I just happened to get paid for a job at the right time. They have also corrected a small problem I had with a product I bought last week from them so all in all I am a happy customer again.

    I should have the new machine tomorrow, so, its back to the shirts for me :)

    Nik, let me share something that I learnt only today that you might be able to try on your big cutter.

    Take out blade, put in pen, do the normal set up for contour cut with the manual registration with the keys as per Paul's video.
    When all four points have been done with the Pen ( you can see the pen dots on the paper see) Put knife back in and jolly well cut away.
    I will look at this cameo but Harry at E.M told me they were a good paperweight, anyone own and use one?
    regards, tony
